Following along!
 
Looks great, well done!
Thank you! It's my introduction to saltwater. I didnt want something so small where it would be intimidating but i didnt want anything so big to where i would get lazy. I feel like a 15-25 gallon tank fits that bill nicely and this kit made it super easy to get into without being overwhelming with building a system. It's letting me learn how I would want my next build, what is overkill and what is absolutely needed for me. I'm loving the hobby!

Best of luck, it looks like you have everything under control!
